You could start a new thread under Evidence Discussion. However I'd wait a while until more is known. The fact that the article was pulled shows that Rene may have found out that what she originally said may have to be modified.

It does appear O'Mara made a <ahem> misstatement about the homeless video.

I posted the previous before I finished reading the story. Here's the last paragraph.

On Thursday, in preparation for the anticipated release of the fight video, an Orlando Sentinel reporter drafted a story describing it, intending to publish it once the video had been made public. A web producer prematurely posted it to OrlandoSentinel.com Friday but quickly took it down after discovering the video had not been released. The story correctly characterized the video. After readers found a cached version of the story online Sunday, Zimmerman's attorneys released their statement and decided against posting the video.

So this video is something the defense actually got, and not part of the stuff the IT guy says they didn't get?

As far as I know, the defense "got" everything. The issue for discovery is the form they got it in, and when they got it. What the state provided to defense was a BIN file from the phone. I don't know exactly when, but I think April sometime. What the state did not provide to defense, but defense was able to extract from the BIN file for itself, were some photos and the text messages. The state had extracted these items in January.

I don't know if this video is similarly among the items that defense was able to extract.

The IT guy's statement supports that Bernardo, personally, had photos and texts in January. O'Mara has said that the defense never got the photos and texts as photos and texts.

Kruidbos was placed on leave shortly after White testified during a hearing in George Zimmerman's second-degree murder case on Tuesday. White said Kruidbos was interviewed by state attorney investigators twice before the action was taken.

White said the photos Kruidbos retrieved were of a hand holding a gun and one depicted drugs. The content of the text messages wasn't specified.

"I'm an officer of the court and I'm obliged to inform the court of any misconduct or any potential misconduct coming before the court. Whether it's by the defense or prosecution," White said.

The defense released photos of a gun, marijuana plant and Martin's text messages publicly

At the hearing White also said there was a photo of 'an underage female', which is not mentioned in the Miami Herald article (3/28/13 hearing, 2:06:50).

I don't find the pictures Bernie didn't release so damaging to his case. I am wondering if the purpose of getting Kruidbos on the stand is to get him to open up about the phone data. I assume he would know if there was mischief that caused the GPS info from Feb. 26 to disappear.
